Temple Mall contains accommodation for four major anchor stores and 57 tenants, and has approximately 555,400 square feet (51,600 m2)[2] of gross leasable area. Temple Mall is one of two regional malls in Bell County, the other being Killeen Mall, in nearby Killeen, Texas.
Sears had an anchor store that was replaced in 1995 by Foley's.[3] Foley's became Macy's in 2006. Macy's closed in 2016; Dillard's had a store that moved across the mall to the former Macy's space in 2017.[4] JCPenney closed in March 2021 as part of a plan to close 15 stores nationwide.[5] Premiere Cinemas closed on December 25, 2022. After the closure of JCPenney, Dillard's is the only anchor store left as of 2024[update], with Planet Fitness as a junior anchor. There are three vacant anchor store that were once Dillard's original store, JCPenney, and Steve & Barry's.
Kohan Retail Investment Group purchased the mall in late October 2021. The price was not disclosed; at one time the mall was listed for US$10 million.[1] Although the company updated the mall's website, by 2024 it displayed the message "The Temple Mall website has been deactivated."[6]
